Course Overview
Treating low back pain is often a complex and complicated undertaking. There are frequently roadblocks to success, relief may be limited, and sometimes improvement is temporary. This three-hour webinar on the treatment of the low back and hip should offer all acupuncturists some perspectives and points for more effective and long-lasting results. Part 1 is based upon the three anatomical structures – the gluteus medius, the quadratus lumborum, and the SI joint. Whitfield Reaves calls this "the triad", and his approach takes a significant turn from what traditional Chinese medicine often postulates.

No longer can we automatically assume that low back pain is due to kidney deficiency and caused by obstructions in the Bladder channel. Whitfield's 40+ years of clinical experience has led to protocols that can assist the practitioner in achieving enhanced results.

Treatment starts with the gluteus medius, which stabilizes the pelvis and refers pain throughout the lumbo-sacral region. The quadratus lumborum stabilizes the lumbar spine, and when in contraction is a significant contributor to low back pain. And the often overlooked sacral-iliac joint can elude the practitioner, and it is often a generator of pain in the in sacral area.

Together, these three structures of the triad is an effective foundation for all low back and hip pain. Benefit from these relatively easy to treat structures, with points and protocols that the practitioner can use daily in the clinic.
Objective
  • Learn how to diagnose and assess dysfunction and pain generated by the gluteus medius.
  • Learn how to locate points on the quadratus lumborum.
  • Be able to describe the assessment and needling angles in locating and treating at the sacral-iliac joint.

    *CEU/CPD Approvals

    Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
